  3. "Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a song by #GerryGoffin and #CaroleKing, recorded and released by #theMonkees in the #summerOf1967. Inspired by their move to #WestOrangeNewJersey, and named after a street there, Goffin and King wrote the song about Goffin's dissatisfaction with life in the #suburbs. The Monkees' version differs somewhat from Goffin and King's demo, and their recording features a distinctive guitar intro played by #MichaelNesmith.

    His name was Cezanne
    And he lived in a meadow by a pond
    He touched me for a moment
    With an image that spoke to me of his sweet love

    Then the painter that he was, drove him on with desperation
    And I saw as he went, a most hopeless situation
    For Cezanne and the man and the time
    That made the paints run...

  11. Nuevo episodio de Vinilos e Historia, con Michael Nesmith, su First National Band, mucho country rock y la Luna de Plata. ¡Buen domingo! YOUTUBE #michaelnesmith #silvermoon #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #countryrock #vinylrecords #NowPlaying
  12. Today’s listening is ‘Magnetic South’, the 1970 album by Michael Nesmith & The First National Band.

    This was Nesmith’s first solo album after the end of The Monkees and, for me, might well also be his best solo album.

    It was certainly going to set his musical template for the next several years and his run of excellent, laid-back, country albums that he was to record during the 1970’s.

    The best song for me is 'The Keys To The Car'.

    Well worth your time!

  13. Today’s listening is ‘From A Radio Engine To The Photon Wing’, the 1977 album by Michael Nesmith.

    This album contains his hit ‘Rio’.

    I can remember the young me first seeing the music video for that song and thinking ‘that’s the guy who used to be in The Monkees!’, as if that was decades before!

    Sadly, apart from ‘Rio’, this is not a good album from Papa Nez.

    His lyrics descend into pseuo-profound psychobabble and his more 'modern' country style is a bit dull.

  14. For the former's birthday, here's Jack Nicholson with Michael Nesmith. Assuming this is from Nicholson's co-produced #Monkees vehicle Head (1968).

  19. Today’s listening is ‘Live At The Palais’, the 1978 album by Michael Nesmith.

    This live album was recorded at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, Australia on 10th November 1977.

    It contains a fine selection of some of Papa Nez’s best solo songs, being extended and re-worked versions (plus a Chuck Berry cover), which makes for an interesting listen if you are more familiar with the original album tracks.

    “My name is Burt Lancaster!”

  24. Today’s listening is ‘Loose Salute’, the 1970 album by Michael Nesmith and The First National Band.

    Having left The Monkees behind, this second album by Papa Nez and The First National Band encompassed a number of musical styles, not just straight country.

    There are a few Nesmith-penned classics on this album, including ‘Silver Moon’ and ‘Lady Of The Valley’, but I have to say it’s not my favourite from his run of excellent albums throughout the 1970’s.

  25. Rockin' out this morning with #CarolynWonderland, an incredible singer, songwriter and musician out of TX.

    Fun fact: In 2011, she married comedian, A. Whitney Brown (formerly of SNL), in a ceremony conducted by #MichaelNesmith.

  26. “People unjustly kicked us in the nuts over and over because they thought of [The Monkees] as vapid or whatever word you want to use to indicate no artistic return. But it is not.”

    #MichaelNesmith (1942-2021) would have been 80 today.

  29. #nowplaying - papa nez goes gently into his tropical proto-chillwave period, 1977, less cringey than i remember, though moving towards smoothness. featuring david mackay, the future mr. donna jean, on bass. #michaelnesmith
